Shuttle unloads by itself.

I'm trying to make a (protoss) computer load a shuttle with zealots and then drop them on the player's tanks in siege mode. The problem is : after having applied the "Enter Transport" script, the loaded shuttle starts to move towards the tanks (as I asked it to), but also starts unloading its zealots immediately (and this surprises me !).

I haven't use the "Exit Transport" script in my triggers yet, so how could the shuttle unload its content ?



None.

If you just want to keep units in the transport, use a neutral player, rather than an actual computer. Computers don't keep units in transports, since that would be stupid. Why have the unit inside when it could be out fighting?

You're going to have to use a virtual shuttle. When the zeals are brought to shuttle, play the sound, remove/move the zeals, order shuttle, then create/move the zeals under shuttle.

This.

Although at times the virtual shuttle can be impractical, it is a very useful system nonetheless.



None.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?

Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it

Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
